2024 Blank Bottle Luuks
£38.00
“Luuks comes from a mid-slope vineyard on the Helderberg that faces the waves of False Bay. Sold in a Riesling bottle for some reason, it has subtle 40% new wood, flavours of lanolin, popcorn and macadamia nut, lots of racy acidity and a textured finish.”

Product Description
Luuks – it keeps getting better and better! Now in its fourth release, this is at first smoky and tense, coupled with just the right level of opulence – clotted cream, crunchy biscuits and chiffon cake, white flowers and buttered toast too. Very broad and long. So well-balanced, and with a long future ahead of it. The name comes from the barrel it was aged in: the first ever new barrel that Pieter bought. Luuks roughly translates from Afrikaans to ‘lux’ or ‘luxury’ in English and it became a bit of a nickname for this wine aged in their fancy new barrel.
